chapter 24
Chapter 4: First Revenge (6)
Quack Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!!!!!
Suddenly, the ground shook and the ground began to sink.
“Quaaa!!!”
Screams erupted from all directions. Most of the soldiers were resting, so they couldn’t even respond properly and fell into the ground.
Calia was no exception. She, too, lost her balance and fell deeply.
Thump!!
Soon Calia collapsed on the damp floor. Unscathed, she jumped up from her seat.
The surroundings were already in chaos. There were quite a few soldiers buried in the soil, and those who were not buried were complaining of pain from the fall a while ago.
The place where the vacant lot used to be has turned into a huge pit 3 meters deep.
“Thankfully, it didn’t collapse too deeply! I will clear a way for you to get out.”
Isabel, who had been evacuated late, said. The wizards, including her, started to build a way out of the pit by chanting her spells.
“Edmund! Where has that child gone!!”
Calia climbed up the pit herself. As soon as she got out of the pit completely, she started looking for Edmund.
Quaang!!
Then suddenly a bolt of lightning fell over Isabel’s head. If Simon, who was next to her, had not hurriedly turned on her shield, she would have been struck by lightning and almost collapsed.
“Hey there!! Damn you son of a b*tch, this time I’m going to put an end to it!!”
Otherwise, Calia recognized Edmund’s location and immediately ran towards him.
Edmund leisurely blocked Calia’s attack several times before running away again.
Calia, whose eyes had already turned upside down, pursued Edmund without hesitation.
“Wait a minute!”
Isabel tried to stop her, but Calia was already out of sight.
“Ha ha, always selfish! How the hell did a person like that become a hero?”
Isabelle burst into exasperation. However, Simon, who was burning with her vengeance, had a different idea.
“Quickly follow her. This is one of the few opportunities to catch Edmund.”
“But….”
“I don’t have time. Gabriel, Alec. Please come back.”
He entrusted the rescue work to the same Mage Tower wizards and went to find the Great Edmund party member. Isabelle followed him, rolling her eyes.
***
“aaa!!!!”
After a while, Calia’s screams echoed deep in the White Forest.
Thanks to that, Isabel’s party was able to quickly find Calia.
“What is it?”
“You bastard! I teleported again and escaped!!”
Calia said, striking the spot where Edmund had disappeared with her holy sword. In response, Simon immediately looked at the traces of teleportation left by Edmund.
“Let’s go after it like this. This time we have to put an end to it.”
He said as he prepared the teleportation magic.
But at that moment.
Cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo….
The sound of shaking the ground was heard.
“The enemy surprises! I’m heading for the pit now!”
Isabel said. She tried to use her teleportation to get to the Imperial forces at her party, but Calia caught her.
“No, we are going to finish off Edmund.”
“Are you crazy? What are you doing! We must go back and save the soldiers!”
“Then you will miss your only chance to find Edmund!!”
“No, what kind of sophistry….”
“Priest!! Please answer!! Killing Edmund and saving the soldiers. Which of the two is more valuable?”
“That… that is… ….”
Dave, the combat priest, hesitates at this. No matter how much he was ordered to kill Edmund, this was a very difficult question.
“Answer me!!”
“Keugh!! That’s Ed… I’m going to kill Mund.”
As Calia grabbed her by the collar, Dave had no choice but to give her the answer she wanted.
“I saw it. It’s what God wants.”
“But…”
“And, there are still other mages on the battlefield. There are many Imperials who have not fallen into the pit. So they will hold out. In the meantime, if we return with Edmund’s head, the tide will be turned.”
Here, Calia laid out her plausible sophistry in her own way.
“What is that… !”
“Certainly, catching Edmund is tantamount to winning this war.”
Then Aryan agreed with Calia’s words as if possessed by something about her.
Isabel looked at the other party members with a devastated expression.
“Everyone is crazy….”
She shook her head and tried to step back. But this time Simon caught her.
“Isabel is also needed for this operation. Come with us.”
“… Keugh.”
Soon after, Isabel gave in. They were already not in the spirit to be persuaded, and there was nothing to be gained by arguing like this.
It might be better to kill Edmund quickly and go back like Calia’s bullsh*t.
She sighed and got on the teleportation magic circle drawn by Simon.
“Perhaps that cunning bastard will ambush us as soon as we arrive. Let’s be careful.”
Before standing in the middle of the magic circle. Said Simon, turning on the shield.
In this way, Edmund’s party of five teleported into his trap.
***
They arrived somewhere in the White Forest.
It was not too far from where they had pursued Edmund earlier.
“Edmund this damn b… !”
Calia stepped forward casually.
But at that moment.
Pushyyyyy… ….
The magic circle beneath her feet was activated and her black mist spewed out.
“Fortunately, the fog only blocks the view. I will remove it, so others please protect me.”
Isabelle said as she immediately used a spell to remove the black mist. Simon protected her with her shield.
That moment.
Tada da da da dat….
I heard someone running.
Quaang!!!
At the same time, the shield Simon had installed was destroyed again by lightning magic.
“This way!”
So Simon summoned shield magic to the place where he could hear footsteps, and Calia prepared to attack with a holy sword on his right.
But.
Kwajik.
Edmund’s blow that came out from Simon’s left side destroyed his shield. Then, along with an eerie sound, I heard the sound of someone collapsing.
It happened so suddenly that Calia couldn’t even deal with it properly.
Tada da da da dat….
Shyyiik!!!
Aryan’s arrow flew toward the sound of her receding footsteps, but missed due to her dark vision.
Only then was Isabel’s magic activated and her fog lifted.
Edmund disappeared again, nowhere else.
“Kyaaa!!”
And Isabel. He checked the neck of Simon, who had rolled under his feet.
Calia is furious with this.
“aaah! Where are you! Where are you!!!”
Calia walked in the direction where Edmund had disappeared and brandished her holy sword at random.
Isabelle also summoned a summoned beast of water to be vigilant, and Ariane drew poison after applying poison to the arrowhead.
Dave, the combat priest, gave them buffs with holy power.
Quarrr
Then lightning strikes again. Surprisingly, the target this time was not Isabel, but Aryan, who had no means of defense.
Aryan, struck by lightning in her head, collapsed without a single scream.
Dave immediately checked Ariane’s condition.
“… My heart is not beating.”
“This… damn!! Edmund! You coward!! Hurry up and show yourself!!”
When Calia saw that, she exclaimed even more furiously.
Isabel was also very wary and made the summoned beast of water into a wave shape to sweep the surroundings.
Tada da da da dat….
Only then did Edmund, who had been hiding behind a tree, appear.
He terrifyingly rushed forward, even using acceleration magic.
His target is Isabel. Of course, there was a considerable distance from Calia, so it was not a situation where she could help.
“Ah… no!!!”
Isabel belatedly gathered the water that had spread here and tried to attack Edmund.
But she was a step slow.
Just before the water gathering from all sides hit Edmund, his sword cut Isabel’s throat with precision.
“Ah… ….”
Isabelle let out her last breath.
The spray, which only aimed at Edmund, disappeared into the ground in an instant.
Then Isabel’s head fell to the ground. A single tear flowed from her eyes.
“Hey… ….”
Seeing that, Calia belatedly rushed towards Edmund.
“How come you have nothing to do but get angry?”
Edmund mocked Calia and let her powerful blow go.
Blinded by her rage, Calia lost her balance again, and Edmund struck her on the back leg with a sword, causing her to fall.
“Hey… Heehee!!!”
His next target is Dave and Aryan who is lying under him. Dave hastily backed away.
Charleurreure!!!
Thanks to Edmund, he killed her by decapitating her unguarded Aryan. And just as Calia got up, he charged at her and at Dave opposite her.
Realizing that he could no longer escape, Dave tried to resist with a gauntlet clad in divine power, but Edmund easily parried his blow.
f*ck.
Edmund hit Dave on the head and knocked him out. At least he killed the priest, and since the words came out, he left that much alive.
Anyway, he was the least threatening opponent in the warrior party.
Anyway, only Calia and Edmund were left.
“This… this… ….”
Calia trembled all over her body in her rage.
Edmund laughed at her to the fullest.
“You said you were a warrior, what did you do? Falling down funny? Just throwing a sword into the air?”
“Shut up!!!”
Calia rushed at Edmund at her full speed. He leisurely stepped behind her and blocked her blow.
“This!! Damn!! Young!!! Die!!! Die!!!”
Calia said, swinging her sword at random. It was a really random attack that completely lost all sophistication, but it was surprisingly well loaded with power, so Edmund was unexpectedly pushed back.
In fact, he was only defending himself the whole time, and he was getting more and more embarrassed.
Calia, whose confidence rose to the limit, swung her holy sword harder, and Edmund continued to back away from her.
Chae Ae Ae Aeng!!!
Then, Calia delivered the blow of conversion.
Edmund managed to block her blow, but Calia didn’t stop there. Rather, she pushed him harder.
The holy sword was about to touch Edmund’s throat.
Calia smiles at the thought that she has definitely won.
“Stupid. Are you fooling me again?”
At that moment, Edmund smiled and said, Calia inadvertently looked down at her and saw that she was in the middle of the teleportation magic circle.
“Thank you.”
And before Calia could do anything, the magic circle was activated.
***
The place I moved with Calia, who was so naively lured, was in the middle of the lake.
Plop!!
As soon as we arrived by teleportation, both Calia and I fell into the water.
Unlike me, who was relatively lightly armed, Calia was fully armed with her armor, so she sank faster. Besides, unlike me, she couldn’t swim.
“Rurrr.”
Calia was about to say something as she sank into the water. But she was in the water, so I couldn’t hear what she was saying.
I grinned and grabbed her by the arms and pushed her to the bottom of the lake. She was Calia, who resisted fiercely, but she was soon overpowered because she was not used to being in the water.
I also lost the holy sword.
When I finally reached the bottom of the lake, I saw a rock tied to the rope I had moved earlier.
Challenge.
As I snapped her fingers, the rope rushed at her Calia like a snake and bound her.
Calia’s entire body was tied up in an instant before she could do anything.
She was pulled straight towards the rock.
As Calia’s back touched her rock, her rope tightened her tighter.
Calia was eventually completely tied to the rock.
The holy sword was out of her reach.
“Rurrr!”
Calia tried again to tell me something of hers, but she didn’t hear me.
I raised her middle finger quietly towards her, then climbed her into the water.
Soon after reaching the shore, I looked at the middle of the lake and used night vision magic.
Then, the first experiment.
‘Can a warrior drown too?’ Has begun.
